After 350 years Polish crown jewels have been brought again to Stará Ľubovňa. This time, however, the aim is not to guard them from the enemy but to display them in an exhibition.

At the beginning of the 19th century the jewellery was disassembled. The current jewels are replicas of the originals and are on display in the castle's chapel every day between 9:00 and 18:00 until September 30. Tickets cost Sk80.
